We’re so excited to celebrate with you at Norfolk Botanical Garden—at the beautiful Baker Overlook!
Getting to Our Wedding
When you arrive at Norfolk Botanical Garden, let the tollbooth attendant know you're here for our wedding. You'll receive complimentary admission and free parking in the main lot.
Follow the signs to the Baker Hall Visitor Center. Nick (the groom!) and Bridgette (our wonderful coordinator from the garden) will be there to greet you and provide directions to the ceremony site.
Shuttle Service
An open-air golf cart shuttle will run every 15 minutes starting at 12:45 PM, with the final ride departing at 1:15 PM. The shuttle will take you directly to the ceremony location.
We don’t recommend walking unless you're already familiar with where Baker Overlook is located—it’s a bit tucked away!
Ceremony Details
The ceremony will be held outdoors beneath a beautiful, shady tree at Baker Overlook. Please dress comfortably for the weather. We’ll have sunscreen, bug spray, and water available to help you stay cool and comfy.
In case of rain, Bridgette will guide you to our backup ceremony location when you arrive at the Visitor Center.

Reception Details
Our reception will take place in the Beach Room at Rick and Terri Madey’s condo.
If you’re driving to the reception, we’ll provide a parking pass after the ceremony or you may pick one up at the front desk when you arrive. Please place the parking pass visibly on your dashboard and park in a visitor space. When you arrive, enter through the main doors—the front desk attendant will let you in and direct you to the Beach Room.
We’ll have drinks, appetizers, dinner, and dessert for you to enjoy! Plus, there will be outdoor games like cornhole for some extra fun. If you’d like, you’re welcome to change and enjoy the beach as well! If you have any specific food or drink requests, let us know—or feel free to bring something you’d love to share.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
